TC 3:27 - 4:18 Corridor (Clips B-G)
TC 4:18 - Senate floor
TC 4:31 - Corridor (Clip H)
TC 4:36 - Senate gallery
TC 4:44 - Bill Maher show
TC 4:53 - Entering Senate floor
TC 5:00 - Corridor (Repeats Clip G, zoomed out view)
TC 5:06 - Lindsey complains/Court drawing

TC 5:20 - Corridor (repeat Clips C&D)
General time line for Jacob Chansley [JC]:
to 2:12 PM: Follows behind, but not in, vanguard of attack
2:12 PM: Breach of Capitol in Senate wing "connector" (Between 1800 and 1859 wings) on west side of ground (1st) floor (TC 2:45)
2:13 PM: JC enters about 1 minute after lead, about 40th person to enter illegally. He follows crowd into 1859 Senate wing (through corridors under chamber) and up GS-E, round the corner on the 2nd floor and into the east end of C-2S.
2:16-2:49 PM: JC remains in the east half of C-2S. Initially there are a few dozen in a "face-off with USCP" that dwindles to just a handful of people.
2:49 PM: JC passes to the other (west) end of C-2S, turns into C-2W and up GS-W
Unspecified intermediate times: JC (a) enters Senate gallery, shouts from south gallery. (b) proceeds to 2nd floor (c) enters Senate floor, climbs dais, leaves threatening note for VP Pence
3:09 PM: JC and rest of intruders are driven out of Senate chamber and down stairs to 1st floor.
Unspecified time later: JC exits ground floor of Capitol
Overview of Capitol and floor plans:
Chambers are in South (House) and North (Senate) wings with main floor of chambers on 2nd floor. From the dais of each chamber, up the aisle past the member seats, out the back of the chanber, then down the corridor through the Rotunda toward the other chamber. (From the dais, the Republican members sit on the left, the Democrats on the right.)
Outside the chambers, there are "public" corridors on the east and west sides as well as the "Rotunda" side (south for the Senate). For convenience, I label these by cardinal direction and floor number (C-2S, C-3E, etc.) Chansley manages to be in all 6 of them (and 5 in the TC clips.)
Ringing the chamber and between the corridors and the chamber are the member cloakrooms (behind the member seating in "L-shaped" rooms, one for each party), a stair case in the outer corner to the ground floor (in the Senate wing the NE-S and NW-S; Pence escaped down NE-S in footage the J6 committee showed), and a lobby between the stairs located behind the dais. The lobbies are behind doors with windows in the TC footage, they are blurred out. (The similar "Speaker's Lobby in the House wing is where Ashli Babbitt was trying to break into.)
On the "outside" of the corridors (opposite the chamber) are "grand staircases" connecting 1-2-3 floors together (GS-E, GS-W)
On the 3rd floor, in the space above the lobbies, cloakrooms, and corner stairs and inside the corridors are the galleries for spectators.

(floor plans from Capitol's wikipedia page. Senate wing is on the right (North). National Mall and Trump rally were to the west (top). Chansley entered through door on first floor in narrow portion connecting "new" Senate wing to older building.

Analysis of clips:
The main block of corridor clips cover 50 seconds (6 total clips at TC 3:27) has been widely shared and illustrates the deceptive nature of Tucker's editing.
The first clip in that block (
Clip B) shows JC walking east through the corridor on the south edge of the Senate chamber (C-2S, also known as the "Ohio Clock Corridor" for a large clock located there) and turn to enter the chamber itself. Since we know from various filings that JC did not exit and reenter the Senate floor, this is the *LAST* clip chronologically shown by Tucker of JC in the Capitol corridors. (The floor "clear-out" footage shows him being driven down the GS-E to the 1st floor, the opposite path he took up about an hour earlier.)
Next we jump to the 3rd floor for
Clips C&D (TC 3:33-3:47). These clips show JC followed by two cops (the same in both it seems) and also in reverse order. In Clip D, JC is walking south in the east corridor (C-3E) and turns into the south corridor at the end of the clip. Clip C seems to continue a few seconds later with JC walking west in the south corridor (C-3S) past the bank of doors into the gallery.
Clips E & F make another continuous block (this time correctly), but we're back on the 2nd floor. Clip E shows a camera pointed south down the stairs at the NE corner of the Senate chamber (NE-S). JC follows one of the two cops (the same pair as seems to be in C&D) in from the right (west). The first cop appears to check the door to the Senate lobby (blurred glass doors and then reverse course with JC behind him. JC looks down the stairs and the other cop shakes his head. The three then exit right into the west corridor (C-2W) into a near continuous shot in Clip F (shot from the opposite [south] end). There is a gaggle of cops at the south end of the corridor with the GS-W just past them. JC follows the cop in the blue mask east into the south corridor. (The last part of this is a reverse of the BWC footage of JC going up the stairs the at 2:49 PM.)
(Given that in Clip B, the same two cops are seen with the one in the blue mask in the lead and that clip is in C-2S, I suspect that it happens a few seconds after F. This would mean that the last parts of JC's corridor wander occurs in clips E-F-B in that order and then he enters the floor of the US Senate.)
The final clip in the block (
Clip G) is the most deceptive. It appears to show the cop in the black mask (again it seems to be the same two cops) opening the door for JC. Close inspection shows that JC reaches for the door handle and opens the door, afterward the cop grabs the door itself, apparently to follow him in, but the next item Tucker shows is JC on the dais. (At TC 5:00, the Clip G footage is repeated without the zoom in.)
After showing JC desecrating the Senate chamber (on the 2nd floor), we jump to
Clip H (TC 4:31) on east corridor of the 3rd floor (C-3E) where Clip C took place, but now with the reverse angle (looking south) which shows JC talking to what again seem to be the same two cops. The GS-E is just beyond them. (This is *not* the staircase he climbed at 2:49 PM to access the 3rd floor.) There is a cut to him shouting in the gallery, chronologically this should be after clip E.
After a few other things, at TC 4:53 we see JC enter the Senate floor with the blue-mask cop following him.
At TC 5:13 we're back to C-3E for
Clip I in the same shot as Clip H, but apparently earlier. It begins with the cops in the background (possibly coming up GS-E prior to the start) and it ends with the three in basically the same place as Clip H. Tucker then repeats clips C & D. Clip D occurs in the same corridor and is likely after it. This would make the sequence of the four: I-H-D-C.
There is an earlier in the Senate corridors in the intro to the JC section,
Clip A (TC 3:08). In this clip, JC seems to come up the stairs at the very beginning (GS-W) and he encounters two other invaders, but no cops.
Buried in the "patriots did no wrong" section at TC 2:06 is "
Clip J". (I missed it starting at TC 3:20.) Like Clip A, it takes place near GS-W in the east corridor of the 3rd floor. JC appears to snap a picture of the stairs (or probably the painting on the landing between 2 and 3).
Before I reconstruct JC's movements for his last 20 minutes in the Senate wing, I need to address his time in the 3rd floor gallery. The door he opens at the end of Clip G into the gallery is around the mid-point of the west gallery, yet, the video of his shouting from the gallery (TC 4:36) shows him near the clock at the center of the *south* gallery (on the western side of the mid-point). This leaves two possibilities (1) he moved in the gallery seating first south to the corner and then east, probably to avoid the cops that had been following him, or (2) he exited and reentered the gallery while still on the 3rd floor. I suspect (1).
Reconstructed movements for JC ~2:49 to 3:10 PM
At 2:49, after spending over a half hour in a dwindling group outside the Senate chamber in the east half of the second floor south corridor, JC finally crosses past the chamber entrance, through the west half of the corridor, round the bend to the right and then up the west staircase (
BWC I posted a week ago).
After climbing up the stairs he meets two other invaders in the west corridor on the 3rd floor (
Clip A). A short while later (
Clip J) after the other two have gone and JC snaps a photo of the painting on the landing. He then wanders down the corridors past the open doors to the galleries until he arrives in the east corridor. Perhaps drawn by JC using his bullhorn (as he had in C-2S) two cops (at least one in the blue mask had been face-to-face with JC for that half hour in C-2S) climb the east steps and talk to JC (
Clips I & H).
He then reverses his course proceeding south in the east corridor (
Clip D), then west down the south corridor (
Clip C), and north up the west corridor (
Clip G) and into the west gallery all with the cops on his tail. (Speculation, he may have entered the gallery to avoid the cops.) After entering the gallery he moves south then east toward the middle of the
south gallery. (Again, possibly to ditch the cops) where he proceeds to shout and scream (TC 4:36). Perhaps while looking down he decides he wants to now join the other idiots on the Senate floor.
JC's next move is to go down to the second floor, he probably does this by exiting the gallery in to the south corridor, then back to the west, round the corner and down the stairs he came up. The cops likely start following him again during this time.
When JC gets to the second floor he turns north up the west corridor. Why I don't know. Perhaps he is lost, or looking for another entrance to the floor, or perhaps, the cop in blue mask decided to check that the north end was secure, and JC started following him. (The last option would explain why the cop is in the lead in
Clip E when he rounds the corner of the west corridor toward the lobby. After this JC (between the two) cops procede back south down the west corridor (
Clip F) then east into the south corridor (
Clip B) and finally when the lead cop checks out the situation on the Senate floor, JC passes him in the entry way to
enter the chamber before him about 5-10 minutes after first climbing the stairs. At 3:09 PM JC and the others are
forced out of the Senate and down to the ground floor.
Short version: BWC up stairs, Clips A & J, (missing footage of south corridor), Clips I-H-D-C-G, gallery, (missing footage of exit from gallery, down the stairs, north up west corridor on 2nd floor, Clips E-F-B, enter into Senate Chamber, expulsion from Senate chamber.
Missing video: There are two big chunks of video missing (and the time stamps on the clips that would confirm or deny my reconstruction): the period in the 3rd floor between Clip J and I (about 2:50 PM) and the post-gallery footage on the 3rd floor, stairs and west corridor of the 2nd floor.
Deceptions: Not only did Tucker zoom in all of the video to cut off the time stamps and failed to indicate JC's location, but at least one pair of consecutive clips is reversed and the "action" moves back and forth between the 2nd and 3rd floors. Tucker's video (as security footage) lacks sound and his own narration ignores the testimony of the cop that Chansley repeatedly ignored instructions.
